: For example, if your on-premise platform is version 10.2.0.0000, then:

::* A package created in the cloud cannot be installed if the cloud platform is 10.3 or later. (A "major release" of that kind invariably has changes in the database schema that would cause the application to fail.)
::* A package created in the cloud produces a warning if the cloud platform is 10.2.0.0001 or later. (A "minor release" is not expected to have significant changes in the database schema. On the other hand, it cannot be guaranteed to work. A warning is generated to let you know that the package should be thoroughly tested in a sandbox, before proceeding with a production installation.)
